Weekend Chit~Chat
Hello! Thank you for your comments on my show and tell. Many of you asked about the mini glass pumpkins. I found them at Michaels in the fall decorating section.
The girls and I decided to get some donuts this morning and on the way we stopped at a yard sale. I picked up this wonderful storage unit and it was filled with craft and sewing supplies.
I put everything on my bed, so I could get a closer look.
And made a spot in the school room for the drawers. Here are just a few of the things...
Lots of buttons.
Clay and push molds.
Pressed flower paper.
Natural quilt batting.
Embroidery supplies.
Four cookie molds. The snowflake will be perfect for Christmas.
Craft scissors.
Sewing supplies.
Various tools, including pinking shears.
And last but not least, this amazing hobby knife set. It looks brand new!
Now for the crazy part: I got the storage draws *and* everything inside for $10.00! I told Phillip I won't need to go yardsaling for at least a year. ;0)
Well, I'm off to make cookies for a pool party we are going to this evening. I hope you all have a great long weekend!
What a bargain! Reading your blog was like opening a lucky packet! Love Eleanor
ReplyDeleteNow you KNOW you can't avoid a good garage sale for a year. I tell my hubby that I don't need anymore dishes either...did I tell you about the new fall ones I just got????
ReplyDeleteWhat a great deal you found!!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have anything big planned for the weekend - I guess it'll be a good one to get caught up on rest! ;-)
Oh my goodness Kelli! What great finds :) Way to go!
ReplyDeleteyou hit the jack pot!! What fun and for so little money!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a find! I'm never that lucky. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteWow, what an amazing find.

Girl DEAL isn't not the word for that. GREAT DEAL! Im shocked at all you got and I know you will put it to great use.
ReplyDeleteI wished I had gone to more yard sales but didnt this year...sounds like you got a great buy. Enjoy the day.
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible find! Thou shalt not covet, thou shalt NOT covet ;-) Enjoy your new (to you) goodies!
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us know where you got the little pumpkins. I'll be heading on over to Michael's!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great deal you got on the storage drawers and all those supplies.
Hope you have a great weekend!
My goodness. That was the find of the year - maybe lifetime. It couldn't have happened to a nicer person. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWowie, zowie!! You must be floating on the clouds after that find. We had a neighborhood garage sale yesterday and today but I didn't get to shop, only work. (sniff, sniff) Oh well, at least I got some much needed purging done. Enjoy your long weekend. =)
